| rick_h_ | dammit https://twitter.com/mitechie/status/984044809408122880 | 12:26 |
|---|---|---|
| Scary_Guy | Starbucks sucks anyway :P what happened specifically though? | 12:29 |
| rick_h_ | the image there, now to get wifi you have to give info and agree to marketing emails | 12:29 |
| Scary_Guy | oh, didn't see that | 12:29 |
| rick_h_ | and I've fallen out of the habit of bringing my mifi as backup, oh well. Phone hotspot it is | 12:29 |
| rick_h_ | yea, one button "I agree" to get whatever you want to send me... | 12:30 |
| rick_h_ | booooo | 12:30 |
| Scary_Guy | or cantenna :p | 12:30 |
| Scary_Guy | I'm less worried about spam and more worried about monitoring of traffic, unless you have a VPN | 12:30 |
| Scary_Guy | anyway brb, I need to restart | 12:32 |
| jrwren | xfinitywifi? | 13:27 |
| jrwren | its everywhere in Ann Arbor, rather nice if you are a comcast customer. | 13:27 |
| * rick_h_ isn't a comcast customer | 13:28 | |
| rick_h_ | well, I'm a comcast business I guess | 13:28 |
| rick_h_ | I'll just use my cell data, fast enough for this work and I've got no problems paying for my use. | 13:28 |
| rick_h_ | I'm just not signing up to get spammed and such | 13:29 |
| jrwren | is comcast business not xfinity? you have a comcast account, right? you can probably use xfinity wifi | 13:45 |
| rick_h_ | no, I've got a comcastbusiness account. It's a different set | 13:51 |
| jrwren | dang | 13:55 |
| jrwren | good to know. i've considered getting one for hosting servers at home. I guess I won't. | 13:56 |
| rick_h_ | Yea, it was funny because one day the xfinity sales guy came by to tell me about how the neighborhood got a speed upgrade and I had left them long ago and they wanted me back | 13:58 |
| rick_h_ | "umm, I am a comcast customer...I've been back with you for a couple of years" | 13:58 |
| rick_h_ | but because I'm a business customer it's a different system | 13:58 |
| jrwren | ha! | 13:59 |
| Scary_Guy | I'd rather use dialup than them honestly. horrible company | 14:08 |
| Scary_Guy | I guess it's good if you have no other options, although I guess not having internet is always an option too | 14:08 |
| rick_h_ | Yea, the big thing is that doing video/photos/etc end of the day I need upload bandwidth | 14:09 |
| rick_h_ | still can't get as much as I want and pay through the nose | 14:09 |
| rick_h_ | first company to give me 50/50 either way wins my $$ | 14:09 |
| Scary_Guy | anyway, nap time, bbl | 14:10 |
| cmaloney | This is kind of strange: https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/173294/software-engineering-manager-100k-yr-crossover | 17:34 |
| rick_h_ | yea, saw that | 17:39 |
| rick_h_ | Curious about an eng mgr position being a coding contest thing...has the smell of "free work" to it but maybe not. | 17:40 |
| cmaloney | The company that they're hiring for seems like a managerial trainwreck according to Glassdoor | 17:47 |
| rick_h_ | hah, well that's why they're hiring managers :P | 17:48 |
| cmaloney | With a coding challenge. ;) | 17:50 |
| brousch | To be a manager, you have to be the best coder? | 18:02 |
| cmaloney | sounds like they're more interested in the game than the results | 18:03 |
| rick_h_ | yep, then you hire a bunch of coders better than you as the manager and win! | 18:04 |
| cmaloney | Then your prefecture gets to eat | 18:04 |
| cmaloney | or something | 18:04 |
| Scary_Guy | They hire security staff using a pit and some lions | 21:35 |
